TL Audio Ivory Series 5052 Pre

Hello all
On the verge of buying the afore mentioned TL Audio 5052. Anybody got one or had the chance to use/compare one? Would love to know how ya'll rate it.
Little bit of backround....... I'm working in a digital based studio (Mackie d8b, Mac G5 running Pro logic 6, Motu 828) trying to record old style reggae and make it sound as "Studio one" as possible. So i wanna get a stereo valve pre with all the bells and whistle's on without parting with my left testicle to get it!!
Anything out there with the same features for in and around the same money? (STG£900.00)
By the way does anybody know what kind of mic's/console's/outboard would have been used at that time in "Studio one" or somewhere where i might find out?
Thanks all and tóg go bog é
Rory :wink:
